After a recent storm caused roof sections to go missing, the homeowner contacted our A.O. Roofing team for a replacement solution. It’s no secret; even the toughest materials fail when a roof takes repeated hits from Florida’s yearly hurricane seasons. That was the case at this 1,900-square-foot home in Dundee.
Too Many Layers and the Wrong Protection Installed
After the storm had removed part of the upper layer, our inspection revealed that the roof had two shingle layers installed. To be transparent, multiple shingle layers installed on a roof never equal more protection. Instead, the opposite occurs, and the extra layer traps heat and moisture, reducing ventilation efficiency, and easily hiding signs of damage.
BEFORE
Materials Used to Transform the Roof
Our team used Atlas Architectural Shingles in Pewter for the replacement, a color that offers a timeless, clean finish and excellent UV resistance. These shingles are engineered to hold up against high winds and heat, making them an ideal fit for Central Florida’s volatile weather patterns.
An ice and water shield underlayment was installed beneath the shingles, offering a secondary line of defense against water intrusion and wind-driven rain instead of extra layers of shingles. Our process helps seal around nails and guards against long-term moisture issues.
Quick Turnaround With Long-Term Value
The entire project was completed in just one day, from removing the two old layers to installing the new roofing system. Fast service didn’t mean sacrificing quality. Every step was handled with precision and care to ensure the roof would be protected immediately and in the long term.
AFTER
A Warranty That Brings Peace of Mind
Before we began, the homeowner had one stipulation: Their home must meet insurance requirements and withstand future storm seasons, which we agreed on. The new roof is backed by a 15-year manufacturer warranty, giving the homeowner confidence that their investment is secure and meets current insurance coverage guidelines.
